Google Cloud Carbon Footprint: Energy-based apportionment [...]
summary
Describes an energy-based apportionment that attributes Google Cloud emissions to resources by multiplying each resource’s measured electricity consumption by the location’s grid carbon intensity, with hourly per-kWh intensity and exportable reports. Explains use of Cloud Console metadata and the Carbon Footprint product (launched October) to map data-center power to VMs, containers and services, gives per-resource totals and hourly traces, and reports operational scope only — implemented and available for customer export.
